My dog is nuts, she kept wanting to go run around outside even when the heat index was in the 120s last month.I would simply not want to go outside and the poor dog would overheat in an instant.

Hiking in the 20s is amazing. It's gotta get into the teens for me to zip my sleeping bag when backpacking.I'll take all the winter you've got. Right around freezing is a perfect time to get shit done, and teens/twenties is a good time to get the hard work done. Or you can go for a hike. No bugs, and no sunburn unless the sun's blasting on snow. Things I gt into today cause it's fucking summer...
flys
deerflys
mosquitoes
poison ivy
sweaty
I'll include rosa multiflora cause if the weather was decent, I'd be armored, but it's technically around in good weather
But that's literally how relative humidity works...Relative humidity is a stupid statistic for showing how hot it is and I hate that TV weathermen and such use it because it oscillates so wildly with temperature
Relative humidity (RH) (expressed as a percent) also measures water vapor, but RELATIVE to the temperature of the air. In other words, it is a measure of the actual amount of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount of vapor that can exist in the air at its current temperature. Warm air can possess more water vapor (moisture) than cold air, so with the same amount of absolute/specific humidity, air will have a HIGHER relative humidity if the air is cooler, and a LOWER relative humidity if the air is warmer. What we "feel" outside is the actual amount of moisture (absolute humidity) in the air.
Dewpoint is a measure of absolute humidity and gives an unambiguous way to express how muggy it feels.
I have breathing issues & the heat & humidity in Boston gets unbearable at times for meFigured we'd get a break in San Antonio being an El Nino summer after three years of brutal La Nina including our hottest summer ever recorded last year, but...

Dewpoints in the 70s are horrendous. But I was just pointing out dewpoints in the high 80s are exceedingly rare outside of like Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc, and 90 degrees with 90% humidity means a dewpoint of 87F. Even in humid San Antonio the highest one I have ever seen was 84F which happened last month when we kept setting the alltime heat index record for the area (not daily records, I mean highest ever recorded period).I have breathing issues & the heat & humidity in Boston gets unbearable at times for me
You gotta show me New England ever gets dewpoints in the high 80s. I don't believe that for a second. Not when 79 is the highest ever recorded in Boston, for example
You think you hate Texas. I love San Antonio but Texas f-ing sucks. Every time San Antonio tries to do something good the f-heads running the state try to kill it.Sorry I was confusing dew point with overall humidity you are correct.
*(the wise-a$$ remark however stands unsullied!)
Ugh this is just not normal at all. Only time I have seen a forecast like this was last year, but here's the next two weeks. I used to be fine with San Antonio summers, yeah they've always been hot, but these last two have been obsceneBut hey, those Spurs games, am I right? Totes worth it.
Though to be fair, Wemby looked really freaking good last game tbhBut hey, those Spurs games, am I right? Totes worth it.

With the way things are going I expect to post this thread next spring tbhAnd just so you know, when you post a thread next year complaining about summer, I'm going to call back to this post and mock you
I was in Phoenix Mon/Tues. What's the problem?
Could only handle it for 2 days?I was in Phoenix Mon/Tues. What's the problem?
I'm just down the river from there.
